Actually, that's not true. My psych doctor told me to take half a 20 for the first three days by opening the capsule, and mixing half with water. Why would a doctor put his patient in danger?

The truth is they are putting us in danger by prescribing the stuff. One person on here said the powder from the pill will destroy your stomache lining when opened like that.

I am older..57, and stopped taking Vyvanse after 2 years due to an irregular heartbeat. I actually have a slightly enlarged heart due to some other issues, and the cardiologist thought it best to get off it. I was not tired or sluggish at first, but now after 5-6 weeks I feel tired. Is it possible to have a delayed withdrawal? Is there a substitute that is does not have negative consequences relative to my situation?

Well I have been on Vyvanse for exactly a year now, and for the past 2 weeks the so called Drs where I live keep jacking my appts. Around so I have been completely out!! Yuup..out, and in two weeks I've lost my job, boyfriend, and almost everybody. I was on concerta before vyvanse and in between changing was on nothing for two months, same stuff happened. I lost my job, went off on everyone I came in contact with, was full of rage, as I have been for the past two weeks!! However, I have slept hardly any in the past two weeks,even after taking stuff that would normally knock my ass out. I have tried to kill myself and was taken to the hospital, 3 rd or 4thtime(every time when I wasn't on my meds) I hear people on here saying how it made them feel agitated but energetic as well....NOT me!! It calms me down, and I can sleep good while taking it, but can't without it. I thought that's what its for, for people that's hyper, however when you're not hyper to begin with and then take an a HD Med, it does right the opposite and jacks that person up.....hello......seems to me, one would be able to tell if they were or weren't. Of course, you got all those out there that do know that and that's why they take them, just to get high!!! I have a Dr. Appt tomoro and I pray to God they up my dosage, I need to settle down, I'm tired from practically zero sleep:( And maybe I can get to looking for a job.

I have been taking Vyvanse for nearly 2 years. I Started at 40 mg i had some anxiety. So I went up to 50 mg and after a few months I and friends noticed agitation and hostility. (I'm a 34 yr old female who is very gentle and caring by nature so that is a quality I've never possessed). So I took 10 days off which was aweful (lethargy and depression lots of crying and sleeping- an old pattern for me but it was exaggerated) - then i started back on a 30mg dose. This worked great and I've even noticed a 20mg dose is affective for me as well. I alternate between 20 and 30 mg during the week and take 2 days off a week. (Sometimes only 1 day off). The days off have become harder, but without the days off Vyvanse becomes ineffective. After about 6 months of med therapy my Dr. added Lamictal as well. The dose was gradually increased to 150mg. This combo has done extremely well for me as long as I manage the Vyvanse like I'm supposed to (taking my days off). Lamictal is fantastic- has zero negative side effects, and the only time I notice it is when I have a situation that I would normally stress out over or over react to emotionally. normally if something upset me i would just go over and over it in my head, keeping myself upset for days, despite efforts to see things differently or change what I was thinking about. with Lamictal I am able to pull myself together much more quickly- within minutes. I call it my emotional parachute- it gives the ability to step back and put things in a proper perspective this medication, plus the Vyvanse has made a huge difference in my life. Perhaps try a lower dose of Vyvanse if your husband needs it (ADHD is pretty aweful untreated) and definately stick to Lamictal.
Best of luck!

adderal vyvase desyoxyn theyre all the same thing as methamphetamine. i have taken every one of these pills and yes youre son will halloucinate horribly if he quits cold turkey he can even think hes jesus christ its called amphetamine psychosis. are meth phychosis. are plain out i stoped taking speed i am now going to go insane for about 3 weeks to 6 months till i take the pill are till my dopamine receptors stop being sensitive. dont worry youre son cannot die. he can go crazy to the point he thinks hes possesed and hangs his self though..... no joke you think lsd and pcp are bad lol you have never seen a person taking 80mg adderall 3x a day for 5 years just drop it cold turkey. why am i writting this because i have quit taking them thousands of times. i would like to point out another stupid as hell thing most of u said. i switched from vyvase to adderal no withdrawls vicea versa..... no sht shurlock thats because theyre all amphetamines lol you will have 0 WITHDRAWLS . thats like me giving u dip to replace ur cigaret habbit 1- 2 days of frustration vs if u dipped 3 cans a day for 19 years... nicotine can make u go crazy enough to kill youre best friend without remorse.... this all comes down to the bottom which is how much you take how long you took it and how steady... my sugestion to you get youre son to drink a sht load of caffeine drinks like coke when he starts to tripp out it will lesten the extent a little bit... fact pure 100x extract caffeine powder is deadlier than coacaine in pure form.... caffeine can kill dont give him caffeine pills... also get him to take deep breaths really deep and really fast and blow out slowly... this will get him high as a kite he might pass out make sure hes sitting down are youre behid him to catch him if he falls... reason why fast breathing will rush oxygen to the brain also releasing adreneline and dopamine. are this is a little horrible to ask him to do but get a rubber band put it on his wrist tell him when he gets scared pop his self hard with it 20 x his arm will be blood red but his body will release endorphins and dopamine because of the pain this will actually help this is why cutters enjoy cutting scientific fact. i usually dont have withdrawls from speed at all. vyvase seems to be a pain in my a@#. iam a bipolartype1/adhd/schizzoaffective patient been since i was 4 i was on 80mg adderal 2x daily. reason why iam withdrawing from vyvase is a bad drug combination and all of you please note this down in youre heads for if u look it upno interactions are found. vyvase and nurontin = horrific shaking ill explain why this happens and i cannot begin to understand wth theyre isnt a listed interaction ok.... vyvase stimulates the cns its not a stimulate its an amphetamine mental stimulate but still a stimulate to youre cns aka central nervous system okay nurontin aka gabapentin coats the nerves slowly as you take it the nerves signals that are from synapsis of the brain... yeah you want that working are you wouldnt be reading this ud be burried.... anyways the synapsis sends the nerve signals but guess what hapens now that the nerves are coated they find it hard to travel through the coating kind of like taking a wire and burring it with no rubber coating the nerves firing cannot reach the places correctly..... they cause a jerking snatching sensasion fear not if you are having this problem friends. for it is not td aka tardydischoniage <<< hard to spell. and it is not parkinsons desease. and it isnt tremmors because to much speed its a 100 percent reaction. trust me i stopped nurontin to check. but anyways iam fixing to stop cold turkey may i suggest cafeine in low doses and work youre way up..... do not and i mean do not give youre son noontropic powder extracy phenylethaylethaymine hcl thats phynelthymine the stuff cocoa that gets you high aka chochlate its also the base molecule for pcp bromo dragon fly pcb2 and is also kin to cathanone cathine<< not caffeine not the same molecule it is also a base for even proponol and ketamine...... it has the ability to by base through dopamine receptors to other parts of the brain... its all good to use for add and adhd but the problem is when the dopamine sensors are craving that amphetamine and that phenylthylemine goes in their bammmmmmm instantanious mentall confusion insanity seizures death possible homicide the problem also is pheny hcl can stay in the brain and jack up dopamine receptors to the point they burn out..... aka dopamine sensitivity he would be mentally retarded just about.... but he would regain his mind about 6 years latter but possible sooner trust me been theyre it totally sucked... it makes u stupid ur memory esp short term fails horrifically you can pick something up put it down infront of you then forget you even done it before you put it down and it last years. youre mine is so slow and he depression is misrable you also lack the ability to feel hot/cold and paine u could put ur arm in a oven and turn t on and not even know u baked it i spilled boiling watter down my chest and perceived it as cold till i woke up in icu lol that was a funny story even though it was horrible but it hapend to me years ago so i have the right to laugh. but def dont give him anything online that says noon tropic noon tropic is not natural it means synthetic natural compound are also natural compound synthetically moddified.... pea hcl would possible help him wayyyyyyyyy after this with drawl is over and clarified some people take it. never mix with seguline aka segulaine it will kill you. people get high off of it but it can be fatal when mixed. you could just do this this is esier than sht and u can get it cheap go to the doctor tell him hes having amphetamine withdrawls you dont want him in the hospital ask for luminal aka phenabarbital.... its a narcotic if he even takes it 3 times by mistake it can be lethal. they use it to euthanize domestic animals. its a barbiturate and a good one. its saffer than sodium penathol and saffer than nembutal aka the drug wizard of ozz lady dorthy commited suicide with. so did marlyn monroe. another plus for phenabarbital they use it for seizures it will prevent them. i once used it to withdrawl from 80mg valium a day. i took that for 4 years. i had minute visual halloucinations. but was off of it withing only 1 1/2 weeks it works freaking great dont let him stay on it after withdrawl because it is lethal it does easily kill if ur addicted and withdrawl from it. barbiturates and alchol are the most fatal things to withdrawl from. not trying to be a jerk but u guys keep saying i switched to another amphetamine. thats not even withdrawing in the least bit thats like saying i quite heroin i now just shoot up china white lol....... what iam trying to point out is its all the same sht

Hey coolchick! Sorry to hear you are going through a hard time. You are at a cross road and is imperative that you keep pushing forward without the vyvanse and do not give up. Things will slowly but surely get better, it takes time to recover from the destruction vyvanse does to your mind and body. I was on vyvanse for over 2 years, dosages as high as 140 mg per day, you can scroll back through these posts and read my posts on how bad it got. When I quit for the last time, I pretty much had to learn to live all over again. Everything will get better without a doubt, it just takes time. I am clean from all add drugs for well over year now and my life just keeps getting better. For me, it all started when I reconnected with God.
When you put your faith in Jesus to get you through this, and give you the gift of life again, you will not be disappointed. He can heal your pain, and he can help you to focus without any drugs, you have to believe that. These drugs are from the devil, and the way you feel now is the way the devil wants you to feel, dead. Jesus offers life and life more abundantly! Trust in him at all times! He will lead you out of this hell and back to a prosperous and happy life without dependency on drugs that can end your life. If you need any help please post me back.

I take 30mgs Vyvanse. The heart palpitations stopped, the withdrawal is mostly this awful nausea though, and occasionally I will feel more irritated by stuff. I get withdrawal every single night, after it wears off...I feel like crap. Vyvanse has inspired me to seek our Orthomolecular treatments, and vitamin therapy plus herbal remedies like Bach Flowers. I also think that Folic Acid, Tryptophan, and a good GABA complex could or might cure most biological imbalances that cause irritability. Since they are biological, we don't need psychosomatic fixes..IMO.

Try: St Johns Wort and Natural Herbal Remedies. Your attention/fatigue could be as simple as immune problems or fever/flu cold. Folic Acid might be a good idea for you as well!!! Folic Acid helps with moods/agitation but can also cause....Mania in higher doses, which makes me ponder that actually benefiting you with your ADD? Because, you'd be increasing the brain chemicals and that usually calms people down.
